DeBordieu People

Give’em HELga!


Today, we celebrated Helga Morrison’ s 23 years at DeBordieu, and wished her well in her retirement!
Helga started working as a courier at DeBordieu in August of 1987, back when the administration offices were located in trailers in the woods. It didn’t take long to discover that Helga had some pretty deep roots in Food and Beverage. She started working in her family’s restaurant when she was 6, in Karlsruher-Durlache, Germany.
Helga came to America in 1965 with her husband who was in the military, and brought with her that classic German accent we’ve all come to know and love. Remind me to tell you the “funnel” story next time we talk…it’s too funny.
One of the things we’ll miss the most about Helga is her work ethic. She has served faithfully as a wait-person, bartender, in special events and banquets, and she’s done her fair share of training as well. No job was too big, or too small for Miss Helga. Whether at DeBordieu’s Oceanfront Beach Club, Golf Clubhouse, Grill Room, or Turn Room, Helga’s smile and personality added special character and charm. She will certainly be missed.

Easy as Pie….”Derby-Dieu” Pie!


Savvy Realtors up and down the coast have realized that it is wise to bring their Luxury Buyer Clients to DeBordieu, the private, oceanfront, golf community just south of Pawleys Island, South Carolina. And I have so much fun encouraging them to do just that, particularly around the holidays!
Last week I loaded up my car with delicious “Derby-Dieu” pies, home-made by my very own elf, Sharon Shirer, who works in the DeBordieu Rental Department. I delivered these pies to local real estate agencies in the Pawleys Island area to remind the realtors that bringing their clients to DeBordieu was as easy as PIE!
The note said “In 2011, lets shoot for the sky, but in the mean time enjoy this “Derby-Dieu” Pie. They all know I’m a big corn-ball, so they got a kick out of the thought, as well as the melt-in-your mouth pie!

Then on Friday I attended the big Coastal Carolina Association of Realtors Holiday Luncheon at Pawleys Plantation.

My friend/colleague, Leigh Reid Hope, of First Trust Mortgage was doing a promotional drawing for a weekend at her beautiful Fairway Oaks Villa at DeBordieu. Congratulations to Mr. Dave Alexander, for winning the weekend!

There has never been a better time to consider a purchase at DeBordieu!

DeBordieu is “Literally” a Great Place to Live.

There are all sorts of ways to get involved in different activities and get to know your neighbors at DeBordieu, just south of Pawleys Island, South Carolina.
While having lunch last week at the DeBordieu Clubhouse, I ran into my friend Sue Canna and her fellow book club members. They call themselves “The Wild Bores” and meet on the second Thursday of the month in the conference room at the clubhouse. After the meeting, they adjourn to the grill room for lunch.
The members consist of about 20 DeBordieu residents, some of whom have been reading together for about 9 years. The books they read cover a broad spectrum of historical novels, mysteries, anthologies, other cultures, and occasionally a good “chick” book.
“Mostly we are a group who enjoys each others company and a book club is a good excuse to read, have lunch and visit.”
I’m so glad I ran into Sue and her friends. It reminded me that golf, tennis, boating and beach walking aren’t the only things DeBordieu residents enjoy. For more information, feel free to contact me or browse the website at www.DeBordieu.com.

According to DeBordieu Club Head Golf Professional , Shawn Roper,
“EGA= EXCITING GOLF ACTION” and that’s just what we had at last weekend at the 2010 DeBordieu Club Championship & President’s Cup Tournament. Here’s Shawn’s report:
FRIDAY
The Ladies Division of the Club Championship started on Friday with a semi-finals match pitting Jennifer Currie against Marty White. This match went the distance and was decided on the 18th with Currie winning 2up.
The Men’s Division Championship Flight had some great first round matches:
Defending Champion David English held off David Bruce for a 7 and 6 win;

Carl Fisher edged Marion Moore for a 4 and 3 win; Our Senior Champ, Steve Milligan defeated Mike Andrews for 4 and 3 win; Scott Edwards held off John Miller and won the match 1 up on the 18th.
The Men’s 1st Flight of the Club Championship also saw great matches: Peter Roy outlasted Johnny Rowell for a 1up win on 18; Danny Aderholt held off Greg Currie for a 3 and 2 win; George Wilson defeated Randy Habeck for a 6 and 4 win.
SATURDAY
The sun rose Saturday morning and brought his friend “the Wind” to the golf course. The Men’s and Ladies’ Championship Flight saw great matches none the less.
The Ladies played the finals on this day, pitting Defending Champions Peggy Clary versus Jennifer Currie. Clary flew out of the gates, took a big lead and held on for a 6 and 5 win. Congratulations to our 2010 Ladies Club Champion – Peggy Clary.
In the Men’s Semi’s, David English was firing on all cylinders as he took care of Dr. Carl Fisher 6 and 5. In the other semi-final, we saw a re-match of the Senior Club Championship from September, Steve Milligan versus Scott Edwards. History did not repeat itself as Edwards edged Milligan 2 and 1.
The Men’s First Flight Semi saw George Wilson fire 35 on the front to take a huge lead on his way to a 9 and 8 win over Danny Aderholt.
Day 1 of the 2010 Ladies’ Presidents Cup saw tuff conditions yet pretty good scoring. Peggy Dellasega took the day 1 lead with a net 72 followed by Carol McCann with 73 and Jody Bennett with 76.
Scores from Day 1 in Men’s President Cup were close. Dick McCann and Phil Dellasega were tied with net 73’s, Dr. Kent McGinley with 74, and Don Henry, Lou Cervini, and Bill Cowan all tied with 75’s.
SUNDAY
Mother Nature brought us perfect conditions today (minus the flying blood suckers).
In the Finals of the Men’s Club Championship was Defending Champion David English versus Scott Edwards. Edwards made the turn with a 1up lead but bogeys on 10 and 13 turned the match. English made solid pars at 14 and 16 giving him the lead he needed to finish off Edwards 3 and 1. Congratulations to our 2010 Men’s Club Champion – David English
The Men’s 1st Flight Finals included Peter Roy and George Wilson. Their match was back and forth and all square thru 14. Wilson’s birdie 3 on #15 halted Roy’s momentum, and the match finished 2 and 1. Congratulations to our 2010 Men’s 1st Flight Champion – George Wilson.
Day 2 of the Presidents Cup saw much better scoring. In the Ladies Division, Peggy Dellasega held off Carol McCann(149) and others to take the title, finishing with a 2 day total of 147. Dick McCann followed a solid net 73 with a fantastic 68 (141) to take the Men’s title over Phil Dellasega (148)
And one more Congrats to our 2010 Champions:
2010 Ladies Club Champion Peggy Clary
2010 Men’s Club Champion David English
2010 First Flight Men’s Club Champion George Wilson
2010 Ladies Presidents Cup Champion Peggy Dellasega
